A 130 mm Caliber Argument
The ISU-130 is a gun first and foremost. The rest is just a means of transportation. A quick glance at this vehicle's characteristics is enough to see that the ISU-130 is the ultimate damage dealer. It will teach your enemies the true meaning of damage — imminent and devastating!
While dealing damage to the enemy, act wisely. Don't forget that you have almost no armor. If you're lucky enough, the large gun mantlet will protect you from enemy shells. But don't overestimate it and be careful. The dynamic characteristics of the ISU-130 are similar to those of its researchable "brother" the ISU-152. This means that the ISU-130 features an average speed of 30 km/h (without equipment) and turns around rather slowly.
But you will forget all about its drawbacks after taking your first shot. Perfect gun characteristics and enhanced shells make this new tank destroyer a dangerous opponent, which will quickly relieve the enemy team of excessive vehicles.
If you see a well-armored tank in your reticle, use your main shells: they penetrate 230 mm of armor and deal 460 HP of damage. That's enough to make enemies think twice before approaching you.
The real fun begins when you meet weaker armored tanks or when heavily armored monsters are reckless enough to expose their weak spots to your fire. The second AP shell penetrates 195 mm of armor, but its effectiveness considerably increases to 530 HP of damage. Do not hide your ammo panel in battle and switch to the second type of AP shells more often.
While playing on the ISU-130, stay away from close combat and follow the offensive of your allies, or take an advantageous position and defend the lane. Team up with your allies: your traverse speed is not good enough to confront a medium or light tank on your own.
If you keep these tips in mind and fire accurately, the ISU-130 will show perfect battle performance and bring you piles of credits!
